Il trittico

Il trittico ( ' the triptych ' ) is an opera by Giacomo Puccini cycle consisting of three one-act plays strongly contrasting, each lasting about an hour:

Background

Il trittico is the result of a tragic Puccini Seek ( Suor Angelica ), a lyrical ( Suor Angelica ), and a cheerful piece ( Gianni Schicchi ) in an evening to bring to the performance. Although Puccini and his librettists managed, dramatically and musically coordinate the three parts well together, Il trittico is played rarely as a complete work to date. More commonly, individual performances of the comedic last part, Gianni Schicchi. This one-act play was after the first performances of the most popular part of the Tritticos, not least because it contains the aria of Lauretta: O mio babbino caro.
